How can consumers access local foods? There are many ways! We have several farmers markets during the summer months. Request a community garden plot in Cascade, New Meadows, or McCall. Support restaurants committed to using local products. Seek out a CSA for produce throughout the summer. Contact farmers or butcher shops to find out about locally raised and processed meat. Become involved with the food bank in your community! Find the contact information below.

Local Farms & Gardens

View our Producers page and filter by product. Looking for fresh cheese? Sort by dairy to find some nearby. Many small producers can be contacted directly for local orders. Find their information on their website or facebook.

To keep local farm information current, we encourage producers to update their information on the USDA site. The On-Farm USDA directory lists producers who sell agricultural and/or horticultural products directly to consumers from a location on their farm property or on property adjacent to that farm. You can easily search your area to find local producers, and if you know of a producer that is not listed, encourage them to input their information right away!

Community Supported Agriculture

To keep local Community Supported Agriculture information current, we encourage CSA producers to update their information on the USDA's CSA Directory.

Restaurants & Resellers

WCM Badge The West Central Mountains Food Coalition is currently seeking partners who are committed to buying at least 10% of their food from local producers. We feature local businesses and their stories on our website so consumers can show their support! In 2021, one of the WCMFC goals is to work with local businesses to strengthen ties to area producers and provide those businesses with a badge they can proudly display.
